Front Closure bras are bras that have closures, usually hooks and eyes, on the front rather than at the back. These bras lie completely flat at the back under clothing. Some feature a racerback-style back which is great for wear with tank tops and for lending a no-slip effect to the straps.

The word bra was derived from the word brassiere which is an article of clothing that covers, supports and elevates the breasts.

Since the early 19th century, Bras have replaced the corset as the most widely accepted method of supporting a woman's breasts.

Bras have been designed to meet different body types, situations and outer garments. The degree of shaping and coverage of the breasts varies between style, functionality, fashion, fabric and colour. Women can now choose the type, size, fit, colour, shape, texture, style and design. Women now have considerable choices!! It's exciting and fun and it's time to make the most of it!! Bra type apparel originated in the 1400s BC during the Minoan civilization era.

Bras make women look sexy and beautiful! There are a wide range of bras available.

Mass-produced bras are manufactured to fit a prototypical woman standing with both arms at her sides. The design assumes that both breasts are equally sized and symmetrical. A bra is one of the most complicated garments to make. A typical design has between 20 and 48 parts, including the band, hooks, cups, lining, and straps. Bras are built on a square frame model.

The bra's main components are a chest band that wraps around the torso, two cups, and shoulder straps. The chest band is usually closed in the back by a hook and eye fastener, but may be fastened at the front. Sleep bras or athletic bras do not have fasteners and are pulled on over the head and breasts. The section between the cups is called a gore. The section under the armpit where the band joins the cups is called the back wing. Bra components, including the cup top and bottom (if seamed), the central, side and back panels, and straps, are cut to manufacturer's specifications. Many layers of fabric may be cut at the same time using computer-controlled lasers or bandsaw shearing devices. The pieces are assembled by piece workers using industrial sewing machines or automated machines. Coated metal hooks and eyes are sewn in by machine and heat processed or ironed into the back ends of the band and a tag or label is attached or printed onto the bra itself. The completed bras are folded (mechanically or manually), and packaged for shipment. The chest band and cups, not the shoulder straps, are designed to support the weight of women's breasts. Strapless bras rely on an underwire and additional seaming and stiffening panels to support them. The shoulder straps of some sports bras cross over at the back to take the pressure off the shoulders when arms are raised. Manufacturers continually experiment with proprietary frame designs.
